Recommendations:
– The more narrow and clean the cutting edge
should be, the lower the pendulum action level
should be selected (or switched off).
– For thin materials, e. g. sheet metal, switch the
pendulum action off.
– For hard materials, e. g. steel, work with low pen-
dulum action.
– For soft materials and when sawing in the direc-
tion of the grain, work with maximum pendulum
action.
The optimal setting can be determined by practical
testing.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
(see figure
Remove the dust cover 17.
After
releasing
base-plate adjustment 22 and lightly
pushing back the base plate 7, it can
be tilted left or right to a maximum of
45°.
The cutting angle can be pre-adjusted by means of
the scale for mitre angles 19. Precise adjustment
with use of a commercial angle gauge 20 is recom-
mended.
After adjusting the base plate to the 0° or 45° posi-
tion, slide the base plate toward the front (direction
of the saw blade) to the stop.
To lock the base plate 7, shut the
base-plate adjustment 22.
With the thumbwheel for pre-tension of the base
plate 21, the pre-tension of the lever for base-plate
adjustment 22 can be adjusted. If the base plate 7 is
not seated tightly after shutting the lever, release the
lever 22 and rotate the thumbwheel for pre-tension
of the base plate 21 in the "+" direction.
If the base plate 7 can not be adjusted or only with
difficulty after releasing the lever for base-plate
adjustment 22, rotate the thumbwheel for pre-ten-
sion of the base plate 21 in the "–" direction.
For sawing close to edges, the base plate can be off-
set to the rear:
Remove the dust cover 17.
Release the lever for base-plate adjustment 22 and
slide the base plate toward the rear to the stop.
If the base plate 7 can not be adjusted or only with
difficulty after releasing the lever for base-plate
adjustment 22, rotate the thumbwheel for pre-ten-
sion of the base plate 21 in the "–" direction.
To lock the base plate 7, shut the lever for base-plate
adjustment 22. Possibly the thumbwheel for pre-ten-
sion of the base plate 21 must be turned toward the
"+" direction.

– With the base plate offset, only the 0° (normal)
position can be used.
– The circle cutter/parallel guide 24 as well as the
the
lever
for
splinter guard 23 cannot be used in this case.
Sliding Shoe for Base Plate
The aluminium base plate 7 is equipped with a steel
insert for maximum stability. It is intended for sawing
of metal surfaces or insensitive materials without
using the sliding shoe 8.
When sawing materials that are easily scratched,
the sliding shoe 8 avoids scratching up sensitive sur-
lever for
faces.
For mounting, insert the sliding shoe at the front of
the foot plate, lift at the rear and latch in.
Splinter Guard (see figure
To avoid fraying of the surface, press the splinter
guard with the notch facing upward 23 (as shown in
the figure) from below into the base plate 7.
When working with the sliding shoe 8, insert the
splinter guard 23 into the sliding shoe.
The splinter guard 23 can be inserted into the base
plate in 2 positions. For narrow saw blades, insert
the splinter guard fully to the front; for wider saw
blades, insert it further to the rear in the base plate.
